This analysis only included 804 patients for whom all of the 12 prognostication scores were available. The cut-off for PROLOGUE indicates a cut-off point of the poor outcome probability predicted using PROLOGUE. AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CI, confidence interval; SEN, sensitivity; SPE, specificity; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; ACC, accuracy; PROLOGUE, PROgnostication using LOGistic regression model for Unselected adult cardiac arrest patients in the Early stages; TTM, targeted temperature management; CAHP, cardiac arrest hospital prognosis; rCAST, revised post-cardiac arrest syndrome for therapeutic hypothermia; PHR, Polish hypothermia registry; OHCA, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; SR-QOLl, Serbian quality of life long-term.
